background: This Krea 2 workflow was originally developed from Red Craft team and re-adapted into my own created workflow which implemented other pieces and parts from other workflows such as Haruki Mix, Moody, and Moody Krea2 Minimal to create this current one for optimal performance, aesthetics, and at the end of the day best image possible while utilizing a somewhat moderate workflow without being overly complicated.
More notes provided within workflow
Hey there! This is my first public workflow release, and I’m excited to finally share something with the community. I’ll save my synthography backstory for another day — that chapter’s coming. For now, I just want to give something back.
In this space, it’s easy to take, take, and take some more. But there are creators who give endlessly, who invest time, knowledge, and patience into helping others grow. To those people: thank you. You’re the reason I’m able to release this today.
Workflow creation is its own sandbox — a strange, brilliant playground — and none of it would exist without the Comfy team and the wild innovations they keep pushing out. So, a huge thank you to them.
There are hundreds of workflows out there, and I’ve watched more videos than I care to admit while shaping my own approach. Personally, I’m not a fan of workflows that feel like you need a PhD to run them. I respect them, and I use a few for specific purposes, but my goal was different: something not too simple, not too complex, and absolutely capable of getting the job done.
This Krea 2 workflow is my answer to that — a balanced middle ground for anyone who wants power without clutter.
If you noticed the Greek lettering in the name, yes: there were Alpha, Beta, and Gamma versions before this one. This is the best iteration so far. Constructive criticism and feedback are always welcome. Negative vibes can kick rocks. We’re all here to learn, so let’s keep it positive.
I hope this workflow becomes a solid asset in whatever you create. Keep creating.
Description
260921 //
- replaced Text Concat (WAS) w/ Text Concat (JPS)
260814 //
- added Model Help note
260808 //
- added note for settings for realism w/ use of Krea 2 Raw, loras, and SEEDVR2 (borrowed from The AI Brief series); Refer to Ref for more details from The AI Brief workflow.
- updated Ref note of workflow's history and creation
- added "(expand)" to Show Prompt node that I keep minimized
- changed color of Sampler subgraph to compliment title - aesthetic change
260802 //
- with advent of variant Gamma A01, added model upscale within subgraph with use with Real-ESRGAN; updated subgraph inputs to reflect new settings alterations
- slight movement of nodes leading up to KSampler making more for an aesthetically pleasing look
- rearrangement of model nodes to include model diffusion, Krea 2 Enhancer, Krea 2 bypass lora, and lora stack nodes for better change of settings of Krea 2 bypass node settings (disable/enable), also making more space for lora stack
260726 //
- added Show Any node to show full prompt for respective generation: renamed "show prompt" and colored teal
- pinned various nodes to lock in workflow design as of now
- branched/forked to Gamma variant for addition of Controlnet group
- added reference regarding the use of Krea 2 Raw and its accompanying lora, krea2-turbo-distill-lora
260725 //
- added Clean VRAM mode after last Vae decode (disabled)
- predecessor to variant D of workflow
- replaced Polyhedron lora node with Lora Manager
- added TriggerWord Toggle (LoraManager) node; slight rearrangement of resolution/aspect ratio, Seed, and Empty Latent nodes to accommodate
- added text concat and text node to accommodate trigger words and prompting
- made prompting node slightly smaller w/ further slight rearrangedment of surrounding nodes
- added bookmark 1
260709 //
- deleted Patch Sage Attention node - haven't seen it in most workflows
- added Anything Everywhere node (just for vae initially)
- with the replacement of normal Ksampler and additon of two adv Ksamplers, implemented overlapping steps from smaller resolution to upscaled output (~1.50-2.00) thereby creating C variant of workflow. // direct workflow upgrade to A variant. B variant was for testing prior to C variant.
- turned Ksampler with immediate nodes into subgraph
260706 //
- added official label for workflow name
- connected Krea2T Enhancer node to model stream - significant difference in generation
- connected K2 Seed Variance and K2 Rebalance nodes in same conditioning stream (just bypassed for now until needed)
260704 //
added lora group section and created new fork now referred to as "KRMX-t2i Beta" originally from "RedMix"
- added model links Markdown note from Haruki Mix workflow
- added Kr2 Seed Variance Enhancer node - connected; disconnected Krea Reblancing node
- added Seed, Pixaroma to replace rthree Seed node; generate before taken out and switched for generate after
260629 //
- added workspace note node for prompting work or saving
- added lora node to accommodate Krea2Filterbypass lora (may not work with all loras besides itself)
- replaced Star aspect node with Flux Resolution Calc aspect ratio node - has more presets that match model's trained aspects as well as MP changer
260628 //
some reorganization of nodes
- added seed node
- added aspect ratio node (still kept resolution selector node that was included)
- added 🎛️ Krea 2 Conditioning Control node (not sure if it's needed for RedMix); note: node currently doesn't work - throws an error.
- added bookmarks
- added Patch Sage Attention KJ and ModelSamplingAuraFlow nodes
